It’s hard to think of another golfer who has toyed with the emotions of fans around the world more than Tiger Woods. It’s very rarely straightforward with Woods and, especially since 2009, his career has had a lot more downs than ups.
2019 is behind of us but it was not a great display by some who let down our great game and so have been inducted into the GolfPunk Hall of Shame. So which five golfers find themselves with the unwanted invite?
They're finally here! The all new Titleist 917 drivers! And they're bloomin' gorgeous!
Keegan Bradley wins the Travelers Championship, earning his sixth PGA Tour title and second of the season meaning he has multiple victories in a season for the second time in his career, with the first coming in 2011. The American's 257 winning total sets new 72-hole tournament record (previously held by Kenny Perry in 2009 at 258)
The PGA Tour has created a new ultra high-end hospitality package for the Players Championship. It costs $5,000, and here’s what that gets you.
Phil Mickelson has dumped swing coach Butch Harmon after working with him since 2007. With Lefty’s two year winless drought his longest since he’s been on tour, it may not come as a complete surprise to many.
As we start the end of season scramble, which is the Fedex Cup playoff, starting first at Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City, the problem of slow play rears its ugly head once again.

It’s Manic Monday, so here is a very quick round up of all the results and stories from the weekend on the PGA Tour, European Tour, LPGA and Women’s European Tour.
The last round has been completed and the final ball has been putted. Marking the end of the 2018 Farmfoods British Par 3 Championship. In what was once again an incredibly successful week, Nailcote Hall in Warwickshire played host to the four-day event that saw Challenge Tour star, Steven Tiley crowned champion.
Scottie Scheffler confirmed his status as world number one by claiming his first major title in the 86th Masters at Augusta National. The American had the luxury of being able to four-putt the last hole and still win by three shots from a late-charging Rory McIlroy. Scheffler closed with a 71 to finish at ten-under-par ahead of the charging McIlroy who lit up the course with a final round 64.
When Nelly Korda’s final putt dropped at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, the emotions took over. Tears welled in her eyes, as she realised the day’s reward. The 22-year-old had won her fourth victory on the LPGA Tour since joining in 2017 at the Gainbridge LPGA, after what she coined a “stressful” day.
It was 74th time lucky for the man who had determined that he would never win a major because he just wasn't "good enough". All evidence to the contrary Sergio. You the man.
